Openbirch

Openbirch is a programming language that I made together with my friend from school. It was an attempt at making a CAS tool to use instead of Maple (the UX is terrible).

The biggest challenge besides creating a programming language was creating a programming language where any variable could be undefined at runtime, but still used to define other variables.

An example of this would be x := 2*y. Here y is not defined, but it is still used to define x.

This was a unique challenge that was solved by representing everything as a tree
